Effects of effluents from a coal-fired, electric-generating powerplant on local ground water near Hayden, Colorado
S. R. Ellis, P.G. Mann
1981, Open-File Report 81-1196
Data were collected at the Hayden, Colo., powerplant for about a year during 1978-79 to monitor the effects of effluent and raw-water storage ponds on the local ground water, Sage Creek, and the Yampa River. The concentration of boron in wells downgradient from the effluent ponds indicated that the ponds...

1981, Open-File Report 81-1125
The channels of the Platte River and its major tributaries, the South Platte and North Platte Rivers in Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, have undergone major changes in hydrologic regime and morphology since 1860. These changes are attributed here to agricultural, municipal, and industrial water use.Although water-resource development varied temporally throughout...
